Chapter 24 Looking for the Patriarch

Shen Zhao hesitated suddenly, after all, he said that he didn't want his daughter to be abandoned, as for dividing the family, it was not divided.

"Mother, if they don't recognize me, they won't recognize me, as long as the child in my belly is Song Tianxiang's, Song Tianxiang didn't personally hand over the letter of resignation to me, I am naturally still Song Wenxiang's daughter-in-law, as for others, I don't want to get in anyone's way." Shen Lan took the opportunity to say that she really didn't want to live with the Song family, as for her marital status, in fact, she felt that it was very good now, she was married and had children, and then her husband was not at home, she didn't have to face an embarrassing scene, as for the future, I would talk about it later.

Shen Zhao, who was a little hesitant before, saw her daughter's determined face, and her heart couldn't help but go up and down, her previous words were just to scare and scare the Song family, but she didn't expect that her solid-eyed daughter really wanted to go to the patriarch, but under the gaze of the Song family, she couldn't show her cowardice.

"Okay, go to their patriarch, I don't believe that no one can control this big family." Then decisively took Shen Lan's hand and went out.

So on the first day of Shen Lan's return, the two families fell out again, and the Song family watched Shen Zhao pull Shen Lan out of the door with an unhappy face, and then Song Wang and Song Juan paced out slowly.

"What were you arguing about just now, why did your mother-in-law pull the eldest daughter-in-law out?" Song Ruhai asked with a frown.

"Hmph, Zhao Guixiang's old X shell still wants to threaten me, saying that he is taking Shen Lan's little biaozi to the patriarch's house, I see that they really have the courage to enter our Song family's ancestral hall." The Song Wang clan was sure that the Shen Zhao clan didn't dare to really go to the ancestral hall, after all, the ancestral hall was a place of family sacrifice, and ordinary women couldn't enter it at all, so she was not afraid at all.

Out of the door, Shen Zhao pretended to take a few steps in the direction of the Song family patriarch's house, and his eyes secretly glanced behind him, still hoping that the Song family could chase him out, but obviously she was going to be disappointed.

Shen Lan, who didn't know the situation at all, thought that the Shen Zhao family really wanted to go with her to see the patriarch, even if she didn't get along, she could divide the family, in short, she didn't want to stay in the Song family, and was bullied by those people.

After walking for a while, Shen Zhao suddenly stopped and grabbed Shen Lan.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Shen Lan was pulled to the ground.

"Lan Niang, why are you walking so fast? Did your mother-in-law catch up? Shen Zhao asked.

Shen Lan was a little suspicious, then looked back, shook her head and said, "They closed the door." ”

"What do you say?" Shen Zhao looked back when he heard this, and sure enough, the door of the Song family was tightly closed, and he suddenly trembled with anger, and then said angrily: "Let's go, let's go to the patriarch." ”

Shen Lan nodded when she heard this, didn't they originally want to go to the patriarch? Could it be that her mother was actually talking about fun? Thinking about this, Shen Lan sighed in her heart, but it's good now, so she really has to thank the Song Wang clan for closing the door well.

Shen Zhao's family went to the patriarch's house of the Song clan in a huff, this time was the time to eat, when they went, the patriarch's family was also eating, and suddenly they heard the next person come to report, saying that it was the in-laws of the Song Ruhai family who came to ask for an explanation.

The patriarch of the Song family, who was eating at the time, immediately frowned, everyone lived in the same village, and I don't know who was in a bit of turmoil, so the patriarch of Song still knew that the Shen family came to the Song family a few days ago to make trouble, of course, he also knew that Song Ruhai's family treated his daughter-in-law as a livestock, and then sent people to the Shen family half-dead, but he also heard that Song Ruhai went to pick up his daughter-in-law back today, why is it making trouble again now, and it has made trouble with him.

"Master, let's go after dinner, there is no one in Song Ruhai's family who saves trouble." The patriarch's wife saw that the patriarch was about to get up, so she spoke.

The patriarch shook his head, and then said, "At this point, there must be something, I'd better go and hear what's going on." ”

"Alright then, then let Jiahe go with you." The patriarch's wife glanced at her eldest son, and Song Jiahe hurriedly put down his chopsticks and stood up from the dining table.

Then Song Jiahe helped the patriarch and walked out, leaving a large family to sit around the dinner table.

"Mother, you said that you have arrived at this meal, what is the matter with Xiang's nephew and daughter-in-law coming to find her father? usually looks at her honestly, but why did she get into trouble with her father-in-law today. Song Jia and his daughter-in-law Song Chen looked at the back of their father-in-law and husband leaving.

"Eat and sleep, eat your food, what are you asking about?" The patriarch's wife opened her mouth angrily, and suddenly Song Chen's head was a little sneering, and the other two daughters-in-law of the patriarch lowered their heads and pursed their lips and snickered, secretly laughing in their hearts that the sister-in-law had lost face in front of her mother-in-law.

It is said that the patriarch walked out of the dining room and came to the hall, and saw Shen Lan's mother and daughter standing not far from the gate, and when he saw him come out, he saw Shen Zhao pulling Shen Lan and walking up quickly.

"Patriarch Song, you have to be the master for us, my daughter is your Song family's three media and six hired to welcome the door, and she has entered the ancestral hall and gone to the family tree, and now her man is not at home, and she is pregnant with the heir of your Song family, but she was abused by her in-laws and almost lost her life, we really have no place to complain, so we can only come to the patriarch and you to be the master for us." Shen Zhao stepped forward and told his grievances in one go.

Patriarch Song frowned, and then instructed his son on the side: "Move a chair for your mother-in-law." Then he said to Shen Zhao: "Mother-in-law, you should sit and talk." ”

Song Jiahe helped his father sit down, and immediately went to move the chair for Shen Zhao to sit on, and then returned to stand behind the Song patriarch.

"Mother-in-law, what do you have to say now, what did my nephew Ruhai do to let your mother and daughter come over to ask for justice at this time?" Patriarch Song asked.

"Patriarch, a few days ago, our Lan Niang was beaten unconscious by Song Ruhai's family and sent back, I believe you should always know, right?" Shen Zhao asked, Patriarch Song nodded, after all, the Shen family came over to make such a fuss, and everyone lived in the same village, who wouldn't know?

"Speaking of which, we were also angry at the time, so we made a big fuss at Song Ruhai's house, after all, the good daughter was pulled back by an ox cart, and she was shouting that she was going to be abandoned, and her heart was always uncomfortable, and my old man was also angry, so he went to Lan Niang's mother-in-law's house to make trouble." Shen Zhao then spoke, first finding a reason for his previous behavior, otherwise it would be difficult to continue.

Patriarch Song didn't nod or say anything, looking like he was waiting to continue.

"As the saying goes, I'd rather demolish a temple than a marriage, no matter how bad it is, my Lan Niang is also the daughter-in-law of the Song family, not to mention that she is still pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Song family, so she naturally hopes that her father-in-law will take back the life of her daughter-in-law, so today my father-in-law went to pick up Lan Niang in person, and we are naturally happy, but Lan Niang was injured before, so I followed her and wanted to take care of her for a few days, so as not to bother my mother-in-law."

"I originally thought that my father-in-law came to pick it up in person, and naturally I was willing to accept my Lan Niang, and I would not embarrass her anymore, who knew that I entered his house, I knew that their family had a point of wanting to change their minds, the eldest girl of the Song family occupied my Lan Niang's new house and dowry, and I found out, and cursed our family to sell themselves into slavery, Song Wang's family was even more evil, saying that I didn't like my Lan Niang to be her daughter-in-law, I was angry and said that I wanted to find the patriarch to comment, but we just went out with the front foot, and they closed the door with the back foot, What does this mean? Patriarch, tell me about it? Don't you want to marry our Shen family anymore? If this is the case, even if we fight for our mother's lives, it will not make his Song family feel better. ”

As he spoke, Shen Zhao couldn't help crying, he originally thought it was a good family matter, but he didn't expect that just because his son-in-law joined the army, his daughter would be subjected to so much abuse.

After listening to Shen Zhao's words patiently, the Song patriarch also felt that Song Ruhai was very good at doing things, saying that he wanted to divorce his daughter-in-law, but he didn't know how to find someone to write a letter of resignation, and he was knocked on the door, and then he compromised under the fist of others.

After hesitating for a long time, Patriarch Song spoke: "What do you mean by grandnephew and daughter-in-law?" ”

Seeing that she was asked, Shen Lan immediately showed a sad look and said: "The granddaughter-in-law has never committed the seven-out rule, so naturally she can't be abandoned for no reason to shame her father, not to mention that I am still pregnant with my father-in-law's child, and my father-in-law will go to the army, if something happens, it will not cut off the incense, so my granddaughter-in-law will definitely not go out." ”

Hearing Shen Lan's words, Patriarch Song nodded, it is true, no matter what, that child is the eldest grandson of Ruhai's nephew, how can he not care?

"In that case, my nephew and daughter-in-law should go back and honor your in-laws and apologize to your in-laws, they will naturally let you go home, why bother to trouble me?" Patriarch Song asked, it's not that he is old and confused, but in the spirit that more things are better than less, and besides, parents' mistreatment of their children will not attract criticism, but children who oppose their parents are more likely to provoke tongue.

And this Shen still understands etiquette, and he has never criticized his in-laws, but his mother's hand is too long, and he is in charge of the affairs of his daughter's in-law's family.

Shen Lan almost fainted when she heard this, this old man was lame, and he actually asked her to go back to apologize, could it be that her mother said everything in vain?

"Patriarch Song, according to what you mean, our mother and daughter are making trouble unreasonably today?" Shen Zhao didn't cry anymore and asked directly, this patriarch is the patriarch of the Song family, but not the patriarch of the Shen family, she is really not afraid.

Patriarch Song glanced at Shen Zhao and didn't say anything, but his eyes were so cold that there was no trace of warmth.

Shen Lan chuckled in her heart, this old man was completely on the side of the Song family, and the mother and daughter were afraid that they would not be pleased.
